Will you profit or be left behind? Millennials / Gen Y, or those born between 1980 and 2000, are the biggest consumer group we have ever seen. 80 million or 1 in 4 people in the US alone are in this demographic.

If you do not know how to engage with them as consumers, you will miss out on their incredible purchasing power and trend-setting behavior.
